The effects were much better than the first one. I loved the Wolves awesome effects. I think that Jacob and the supporting actors by far did a better job in acting than Edward and Bella. I like Robert but Jacob stole the show in acting and with the awesome body. I hope that Robert and Kristen get more acting lessons to measure up to the characters they are playing. I really hope to see major improvements by the third movie. Either way the book is way better but I will still buy the movie when it comes out.
